Lapprenti Sorcier la Peri & Sym in C Major
Shrink-wrapped
Paul Dukas is famed for his brilliant, meticulously scored symphonic scherzo The Sorcerers Apprentice, first performed in 1897, which almost immediately entered the international repertoire. It was subsequently the focus of a ballet and later Walt Disneys film Fantasia. Magical scoring is also a feature of La peri, a poeme danse of great imaginative verve. The delightful, colorful Symphony in C was composed mid-way between these works. For this recording, manuscript sources for the three works were consulted, including the hitherto private proofs of the first edition of The Sorcerers Apprentice, ensuring rigorously faithful performances.
